“you summoned?” brows drawing together, frank longbottom had no poker face, it was lost on him why the youngest of the crouch siblings was requesting for him. he had to do a double take on the note, just seeing a crouch he was going to take off toward hufflepuff, it took him a moment to realize that it was in fact elsie asking for him.

surprisingly, this bar turned out to be one of jo’s favorite places in the neighborhood. after the first couple of outings, she’d found a group of people her own age and ended up claiming a high top table to watch their younger companions on the dance floor and talk about everything from how much things had changed since they were kids to the most recent new york sports results. it was late on a monday, so most of the friends she’d made here had reluctantly called it a night, but jo was still keeping an eye on one of the TAs she’d accompanied here. knowing that particular TA, jo would be here until last call. at least she was surrounded by other people, so jo felt comfortable shooting her a don’t leave text and slipping off to the bathroom.

she just needed a minute. she didn’t mind crowds or anything, but sometimes when she was out for hours at a time, she needed a second to recharge. she didn’t have to go. she hadn’t had anything alcoholic to drink tonight. but she did need to splash some cold water on her face and then touch up her makeup. she was just reapplying her lipstick when the stall door behind her opened.

she saw her in the mirror first. jo would recognize that face anywhere. she’d spent enough of her young adult life sneaking around and kissing that face…and then, after she’d escaped to the west coast, wishing she were there with her. their eyes met in the smudged bathroom mirror and for a second, jo’s heart stutter-stepped in her ribcage before then beginning to beat double time. “elsie.” the name tasted familiar on her tongue despite the time apart. she turned her attention back to her own reflection to finish her lipstick. “what are you doing here?” it came out sharper than she meant. jo was just surprised, that’s all. and a little shellshocked, honestly. it’d been a long time

She’s lost Hale somewhere, which is unfortunate. It’s sort of hard to do that, with the horns and the wings and everything. But Tiff’s not worried; Hale will turn up sooner or later, and until then she’s very happily occupied with a corndog that she’s drenched in mustard. She’s wandering around quietly, just taking in the sights and the sounds, when she sees a familiar face. “Elsie!” Tiff raises a hand in greeting, evidently surprised. “I didn’t think this would be your kind of thing.”

She’s seen Elsie a lot at the library, where she works, but she’s never seemed like a sociable person. Definitely one of the last people Tiff expected to see here. @iletere​
